Jimmy Stewart At LAX, 1976

Recently, I saw a photo posting of actor Jimmy Stewart and his wife on Facebook. This jogged a memory dating back to 1976.

Former Governor Ronald Reagan was in a primary campaign against President Gerald R. Ford. During the campaign, Reagan was returning to Los Angeles from campaigning in different states. He was scheduled to arrive at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and the Reagan campaign (Citizens For Reagan) turned this arrival into a campaign rally.

Since I lived only a few miles from LAX, decided to attend the rally.

When I arrived and while walking to rally area, I saw Stewart signing autographs for fans. I took the below snapshot with a 110 Kodak camera I had at the time.
